Paris

I just managed to get two whole weeks off, so the three of us jetted off to Paris and it was LOVELY. A few highlights: Nathanaëlle Herbelin at the Musée d’Orsay; the Jean Julien installation at La Bon Marché; the Eiffel Tower (thanks to this one incredibly tip: when booking, set your computer’s clock to French time); hitting every single comic store on Rue Dante; and of course the open top bus tour. I love an open top bus tour.

I was less keen on seeing a duckling being eaten by a crow at the base of the Eiffel Tower. That was … not great. Fascinating seeing how in the blink of an eye it brought together onlookers from all corners of the world in a frenzy of despair and fruitless attempts to help. THANK YOU SYMBOLIC DUCKLING.
